In terms of a title thread on this forum, we are quite restricted in the amount of words we can have there, hence the main reason why 'Home Nations' was used!! BTW for most of us that term does not include The Republic!

What do you mean most? It doesn't include 'the republic' at all because it can't. It is a fact. The term is really only used by English people, mainly media and British nationalists. A lovely mob.

Last time we tried to get involved ( the IRFU) we were made look like a bunch of complete lightweights and were rightly put back in our box for having a sh1tty amateur, half baked solution ....what makes anyone think Ireland could help out here? ....delusions of grandeur I am afraid .....much and all as it would be great for the country ....it aint a runner.

Ahh in fairness we could do one group, it’s only 4 games now as each group only has 3 teams. LR and some redeveloped/new stadium in Belfast. I doubt Norn Iron could have 2 stadiums available so they would have to share it with the Rep. Even if “Ireland” were given two groups, 8 games, you could have LR, Pairc Ui Chaoimh and Belfast. Spread those matches over 7/8 days, no problem with hotel rooms etc. Somehow doubt the Rep would be included though, I’d imagine Eng/Scot/Wal and maybe a token game or two in Belfast.

How did you get 4 matches in a group of 3? Team A v Team B Team A v Team C Team B v Team C | By being crap at maths?

Unfortunately, we can't even get ITV on Virgin Media down here now! So we have to concentrate on The Beeb!

As said on a previous thread a few weeks ago.
England will likely bid for it and throw a few games towards Wales and Scotland.
And maybe will give Dublin a few group games.
Dublin could host a group game every 4 days. So could host up to 3 games.

Hah, so it seems they'd do it to throw the Nordies under the bus.
But seriously, 2030 is going to be in Uruguay and Argentina. 2034 is a more realistic target.

From a Stadium point of view. Us being part of the bid makes more sense than having the nordies
